There is plenty of indication, these same informed sources say, that there will be a number of other candidates for posts on this ruling board of the county. The county school - board is likely to seek re-election and there Is almost a certainty that there will be plenty of opposition to th£ five incumbents of this board, Chairman E. M. Phllyaw, C. J.
